[Measuring the intensity of restraint during care in children: Validation of the Pric scale].

Restraint is used relatively often during pediatric care. However, no scale has yet been validated to assess its intensity. The study presented here did this for the Procedural Restraint Intensity in Children tool in metrological terms (with some limitations).

Autonomy and competence satisfaction as resources for facing chronic pain disability in adolescence: a self-determination perspective.

This study aimed to test empirically the developmental goal pursuit model of paediatric chronic pain, which draws upon Self-Determination Theory for understanding risks and resources for living with chronic pain. This study examined the relationship between basic psychological need satisfaction (i.e.

A simple tool to measure procedural restraint intensity in children: validation of the PRIC (Procedural Restraint Intensity in Children) scale.

Purpose: Restraint is often used when administering procedures to children. However, no metrologically scale to measure the restraint intensity had yet been validated. This study validated the metrological criteria of a scale measuring the restraint intensity, Procedural Restraint Intensity in Children (PRIC), used during procedures in children.

Benign paroxysmal torticollis, benign paroxysmal vertigo, and benign tonic upward gaze are not benign disorders.

Aim: Benign paroxysmal torticollis (BPT), benign paroxysmal vertigo (BPV), and benign tonic upward gaze (BTU) are characterized by transient and recurrent episodes of neurological manifestations. The purpose of this study was to analyse the clinical relationships between these syndromes, associated comorbidities, and genetic bases.

Method: In this cross-sectional study, clinical data of patients with BPT, BPV, or BTU were collected with a focus on developmental achievements, learning abilities, and rehabilitation.

Efficacy and Tolerance of Lidocaine 5% Patches in Neuropathic Pain and Pain Related to Vaso-occlusive Sickle Cell Crises in Children: A Prospective Multicenter Clinical Study.

Background: The management of neuropathic pain and pain related to bone vaso-occlusive crises in sickle cell disease remains challenging in children. Lidocaine 5% patches are recommended in adults for neuropathic pain treatment, but they are not recommended in children. The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and tolerance of lidocaine 5% patches in pediatric inpatients.

[Do analgesic sweet solutions in neonates influence glycemia? A literature review].

Sweet solutions are one of the most widely used nonpharmacologic analgesics used for newborns. They alleviate mild to moderate pain induced by painful procedures. They are used daily in neonatal intensive care units before a venepuncture or a heel stick, especially for a blood-sugar measurement.

Longitudinal study shows that depression in childhood is associated with a worse evolution of headaches in adolescence.

Aim: The aim of this study was to examine the course of headache diagnosis, headache frequency, anxiety, comorbid depressive symptoms and school absenteeism in adolescents with migraine and tension-type headaches five years after baseline.

Methods: We followed a group of 122 children with a mean age of 10.1 (±1.

Early Diagnosis of Migraine Necessary in Children: 10-Year Follow-Up.

Background: The prevalence of migraine in individuals younger than 20 years old is 8%, with a mean age at onset of younger than 8 years. However, the long-term prognosis of migraine attacks has not been clearly established.

Objective: Our main objective was to evaluate disease course 10 years after migraine diagnosis in a cohort of children and adolescents.

Anxiety, depression and school absenteeism in youth with chronic or episodic headache.

Background: Chronic daily headache (CDH) in children has been documented in general and clinical populations. Comorbid psychological conditions, risk factors and functional outcomes of CDH in children are not well understood.

Objectives: To examine anxiety and depression, associated risk factors and school outcomes in a clinical population of youth with CDH compared with youth with episodic headache (EH).

EVENDOL, a new behavioral pain scale for children ages 0 to 7 years in the emergency department: design and validation.

Numerous behavioral pain measures have been validated for young children, but none is appropriate to assess pain in emergency departments (EDs), where caregivers need a simple, easily completed scale. Our objective was to elaborate and validate a tool, relevant in any painful situation, with agitation or prostration, and for any age under 7 years. Five items (scored 0 to 3) were developed by pediatric pain and emergency caregivers.

Pain management in newborns: from prevention to treatment.

All neonates in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) or during the first days of life undergo painful and stressful procedures. Epidemiologic studies have shown that pain induced by these procedures is not effectively prevented or is inadequately treated. Pain experienced during the neonatal period may lead to negative outcomes, especially in preterm neonates.

[Patient controlled analgesia in children].

Patient Controlled Analgesia is a useful technic to deliver morphine analgesia via a programmable pump: the patient himself choose to self-administer a bolus dose (usually morphine); the dosage is calculated and prescribed according to the level of pain, limits of dose and period of interdiction are planned. After initial bolus to decrease severe pain (titration), the patient from the age of 6 years can manage his analgesia. This method of administration of the analgesic allows to adapting at best the posology of morphine to the level of pain and has a high safety level.

[Quality of life of adolescents surviving childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia].

Purpose: To evaluate how adolescents and young adults cured of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated during childhood have integrated the disease, and possible death related to cancer. Particularly, we have focused on experiences related to diagnosis announcement, hospitalisation and treatments and consequences on their social, psychological and somatic behaviour.

Patients: Forty-one patients cured of ALL have been enrolled in the study and answered one interview with clinical psychologist or research nurse.

[Migraine and headache in childhood].

In childhood and adolescence, migraine is the main primary headache. This diagnosis is extensively underestimated and misdiagnosed in pediatric population. Lacks of specific biologic marker, specific investigation or brain imaging reduce these clinical entities too often to a psychological illness.

The efficacy of premixed nitrous oxide and oxygen for fiberoptic bronchoscopy in pediatric patients: a randomized, double-blind, controlled study.

Study Objective: s: The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of premixed 50% nitrous oxide and oxygen on the quality of sedation and pain control during fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FB) in children.

Design: A prospective, randomized, double-blind study.

Setting: Pediatric pulmonary department in a pediatric tertiary university hospital.
